Golden Wien (Weekend Reflections # 346)

Vienna, Austria                                                      Franziskanerplatz          

I was walking around Vienna one snowy evening when I happened to notice this reflection on a gold nameplate. You only see a little part of the engraved  calligraphy at the bottom of the picture.
The gold plate says "Michael Wolfgang Fischer Juwelen".  I think Juwelen is German for jewelry or jeweler. Who needs jewelry when you can have reflections, right? 
 No, I'm not going to ask my wife that question. ;-)

Have a great weekend!

  5. I also agree about the calligraphy—and (as much as I love reflections) what I assume your wife's answer would be! :~}

  10. Juwelen is the same word in Dutch and German language and it means indeed jewelry. Great reflection.

  13. Amazingly clear and encompassing reflection for a gold plate. Unique and awesome ... and you are wise in not asking your wife for her preference :)
